The Census Bureau defines the value: Value is the respondent's estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot (if lot owned), or condominium unit) would sell for if it were for sale.
It says about the margin of error: The MOEs for published ACS estimates are provided at a 90 percent confidence level.
A value of "$2,000,000 or more" is the top group, with no margin. See the glossary. The site copied these texts on .
